Saving America in Ten Steps by 1/1/2017

1. End all subsidies of oil and coal, offering single-payer solar panels to homes for residents if not owners.
2. Raise the hourly minimum wage from $7.25 in 2011 to $10 by 2014 (1968 level) to $15 by 2017.
3. Outlaw private money to finance elections, giving $1/voter/election, whether primary or runoff or general.
4. Put cigarette-style warning labels on foods with high fructose syrup or aspartame, both known poisons.
5. Erase the $106.800 annual income cap taxable by Social Security, letting billionaires pay.
6. Every February, offer free monthly passes for mass transit; cost efficiency is addictive.
7. Raise the top marginal income tax rates (including capital gains):  35% = $¼M+, 39% = $½M+, 50% = $1M+, 74% = $20M+, 91% = $1B+.
8. Provide single-payer education and healthcare, in exchange for 2 years military or 3 years other service.
9. Erase NAFTA & GATT to allow Mexico and Haiti to grow their own food and jobs.
10. Give $250/week or $13,000/year tax-free to all who served in Iraq or Afghanistan (not O-5 and up.)
